CHAPER 3: Lunch

"Bella" Edward passed me in the hall.

I ignored him, of course.

"Where's JD?" he asked trying to make polite conversation

"Hunting"

"Bear? Deer? Lion." He kept listing off names of animals until I cut him off

"People" I yelled sternly, earning some stares, and walked off, but knowing Edward, he followed me

"People? What do you mean 'people' Bella?"

"People, people, I mean people. Humans" I gestured around at the school students surrounding us.

"Where?" he asked slowly

"Indiana" I shrugged. (Sorry, I had to put this lovely state in here…I heard this one girl got kidnapped from the middle school near my high school last week! Yeah, I used to go to that middle school. I think her name was Bethany…JD ATE HER!!bwahaha…no)

JD was back for lunch, her nose pressed into a book.

"Edward wants you to sit with him." She pointed to a table without looking up from the page she was on.

"And this affects me how?" I asked

"I kind of promised that you would"

I was speechless

"Just go" she took her face out of the book and rolled her eyes.

I got up, and whispered 'traitor'. She smiled

I went over to his table and before he could speak I shook my head and told him that I wasn't going to talk to him.

He said that was perfectly fine.

I broke into his thoughts and was engulfed in emotions, sadness, happiness, and jealousy. He was sad that we weren't together anymore (his entire fault), he was happy I was sitting with him, and he was jealous of JD because she could spend so much time with me. His emotion overflow was starting to give me a headache.

"Kill it with the emotions would you?" I asked.

"Huh?"

I changed the subject quickly,

"Why did you leave?"

"Are you giving up on your vow not to speak to me?" he smiled

"Why?" I repeated

"I thought you would be safer without me. But that, obviously, put you in more danger"

"Really? I hadn't noticed!" my voice was laced with sarcasm

"Do you have a power?" he put his face closer to mine.

"Yes" I backed my face away from his.

"What is it?"

"Not telling"

"Please?" he asked

"No" I wouldn't let him know about the power I held over him. I broke in once again and made his brain drop the subject, but he kept talking about it.

I guess that is all just as well, his power has limitations with me, and mine with him. He still didn't know that I was messing with his mind.

"Do you know what it feels like to have another person in your mind?" I asked

"Well, I read minds, so I know what it is like to be in another person's mind. But to have another person in MY mind" he shook his head "No, I don't."

"That explains it all" I said. If he didn't even know what it was like to have another presence in your mind, your solitude, your memories…then he wouldn't be able to figure out my power.

"What do you mean?" he looked confused.

"Oh, I think you'll figure it out soon enough" I leaned back in my chair so that only two legs wer on the floor.
